Classic 1930s look

Photos by Ruth

It's been a while since I put together a proper 1930s ensemble, but between finding this charming little blouse at last weeks estate sale and watching Poirot, I'm back in a 30s kick.I was really excited to find this blouse, it's like something you only see in old family photos, but never in person it's of such thin fabric I'm surprised it's survived! It has a very unique collar, I would love to make another one or two like it.

That's a lovely outfit - and that blouse is pretty much to-die-for. I've always wondered about white gloves though... the first thought I had was "oh her gloves will get dirty!" but I guess you wash them later :)

I adore your blouse, I wish I had a similar one! I read your blog every week, but this is my first comment. I LOVE your blog, your hats and all your pretty and inspiring photos! Greetings from France :-)

Your outfit is SUPER cute!!! And I would just like to say that whenever I watch a period movie, whether it's from the 1930's or Regency England, for at least a week after, I am prancing about the house in the appropriate garb :)

And, don't you just love garage/estate sales? I just found 3 vintage 1950's hats yesterday at a garage sale, and for dirt cheep, as well!!!! And dirt sheep suits my babysitting budget.
